Super Jet Best shortend sj steering?

[mjkammes]

I was looking to put a short turn plate on my rn. I have had a umi set up and liked it but also feel the wdk setup is simple as well as the x metal system being cost effective. Any personal experiences or advice is appreciated.

i had the x metal quick turn plate and had to keep messing with it to get it to stop loosening after every ride. In the end it had about 4 fat washers, a longer SS bolt, couple jam nuts and a ton of red locktite. Switched to Cold Fusion's fat bar setup and couldn't be happier.

Its OK, I prefer my umi tho for smooth and solid.

I put a cold fusion plate n 50mm RRP fat riser bars on n love it!! Awesome setup!

*edit* Three best in order of best-ness:
Air Time Products
WDK

Titan


They all have a sealed bearing design.

I wouldn't use anything that reuses the factory bushing design.

Of course you have to pay to play it seems. All three that I mentioned are over $200. But I'm tired of fighting the system I have so, I can see spending the money on a good part.

Just pu wdk

Wdk looks nice And seams solid and simple. I think I'm going to get one. Any thoughts on the umi shortened plate with 0 bars. Thanks for the input guys. I hate buying something and being disappointed on the outcome.

Bingo

Why not reuse the factory bushings? Simple design, less parts, zero maintenance, turns easy, no worries with salt water.

If you're happy with it, by all means run it cause you're saving a lot of money. But I can't imagine that if you did the Pepsi challenge with a sealed bearing design that you'd still like the factory setup as much.

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

yeah once i left factory setup, to a bearing setup would nvr go back so dam smooth. and the way there designed now all sealed cant go wrong, imo

Little update on this thread. I ordered the ATP steering and got it in yesterday. I would say its nicer than the titan for 1 reason.

The Titan, you have to hog out the hole in the center of your pole to tighten down the main nut. Nobody wants to grind on the business end of a AM billet pole.

The ATP is designed to work with the 4 holes already existing in the handle pole. I haven't installed it yet, but just for that difference I would say the ATP gets the final thumbs up from Chuck Norris.

If it sucks once I install it, i'll let ya'll know.

the atp weighs a shiat ton though and it sits high on pole so all pads may not fit. my nod goes to wdk or rrp.

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

Not sure on the weight of my wdk but its definately low profile, tiny lil bugger

Titan is my fav.

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

Think there all gonna have some good weight to theme they basicly use a wheel bearing

ATP is larger and heavier, but the Titan requires me to drill a massive hole in my Xmetal pole.

I thought the RRP was proprietary to their pole. :dunno:

No swap I have a titan pole and ordered all rrp stuff should have it any day but it was said it fits

you supposedly dont have to hog out the new style xmetal poles. i had to on mine with my rrp steering. i like my rrp, expensive and uses orings with a grease fitting. wdk is another winner fore shore though
